During protein synthesis in cells, amino acids condense (in the presence of enzymes) through the formation of the amide link (CONH), or peptide bond, to form a polypeptide chain, which then folds to form a biologically active protein. The equation below shows the formation of a dipeptide, Ala-Gly, formed by condensation of the two amino acids, alanine and glycine in a test tube.
